Floribunda Rose
Rosa Queen Elizabeth
Large, beautifully formed, semi-double, soft coral pink blooms emerge from masses of attractive, pointed buds between July and September. This is a large, vigorous, easy-to-grow variety with upright, stiff canes and finely toothed, leathery dark green leaves. The pretty, high centred blooms have an informal, cupped appearance and possess a subtle, sweet fragrance which drifts gently in the breeze. Perfect for growing as a framework for annual vines to cling to, its tall stems and long-lasting blooms also make it a great choice for using as cut flowers. An excellent, large-growing, disease resistant Floribunda which combines well with lilies and looks great when grown up the side of a fence, porch or shed. Mulch with well rotted garden compost or manure in the spring to encourage a plentiful production of flower buds

Garden Care:
Dependent on the time of year you buy our roses, the compost may break away when removing from the pot because they are field grown and potted in autumn. Prior to planting trim the roots to 25cm and the stems to 15 to 20cm taking care to cut diagonally away from and above an outer facing bud. Mix compost in with the back fill and a potash based fertilizer.
